DESPERATE MEASURES

Our governments are trying measures that show how desperate they are for revenues. Rather than doing what they should do, cutting their budgets, they look for new sources of tax revenues. Where do tax revenues come from? They come from the earnings of workers. The government has become a parasite and is intent on destroying its’ host to keep its’ life going. The government has no ability of sustaining itself except through tax receipts. Taxes can take on many forms including the hidden tax of inflation.

Politicians are not trained economists, so they pass policies that are not going to work in the real world. Their policies are based upon fantasy. Tax policies totally ignore any economic laws. Politicians mantra is "there are no absolutes," and thus, no economic laws. Contrary to politicians’ beliefs, economic laws exist and they are inelastic. God governs the world by cause and effect and no tax policy can overcome it. No matter how much money the government prints, it does not solve economic problems. Printing more money only makes things worse.

This is because politicians have been trained in idolatry which means their education is effect based. Their education is dead and false. A piece of paper does not educate anyone. It is easier for these dolts to stick a gun in our belly and demand tax payments than to try figure out the real function of government. The reason that governments are so tax revenue hungry is because government is involved in things that are not a function of government, namely education, health care, etc.

When group thinking takes over there is a loss of individual responsibility. Government is limited when people take responsibility for their individual actions. People look to the government to take care of them rather than them taking care of themselves. People have given up on being responsible along time ago. An example of giving up on individual responsibility is the playing of state lotteries.

An Associated Press article on Wednesday, April 8, 2009 begins with "Facing serious budget shortfalls, states could rake in an additional $14 billion if they tweak their lottery programs, according to an industry report released Tuesday." Who are the people who play the lottery? Those who do not understand anything about economics. More poor people play the lotteries than do the rich. Instead of trying to build something, these dolts believe that they can get rich without doing anything but pay a few dollars for a lottery ticket. The odds are against them, but this does not stop them from gambling. The lottery causes a gambling addiction among its players. Lotteries are opposed to productive work. Lotteries encourage indolence rather than productiveness. It is obvious that our government is against all economic law.

This article proves how desperate governments have become. They will legalize any vice if they can get revenues from it. All this leads into one direction, death. Theology matters and the theology of government is based upon policies of death, not life. Lottery playing is the opposite of economic growth. Lotteries are economically unproductive. They provide no capital for future economic growth. Those who play lotteries are present oriented and thus lower class.

THE BANANA REPUBLIC

When theology moves from spirituality to idolatry, the consequences are always the same, it is a regression into the void. Idolatry is the worship of the physical creation. The Second Commandment forbids the worship of the creature and yet when man rejects God’s law, he will automatically begin to worship what he can see with his physical eyes and not the one who has created the visible world. When a nation becomes idolatrous be assured that anything resembling intelligence has been jettisoned.

An idolater is incapable of understanding the law of cause and effect and yet God has established this world and governs this world on the basis of causality. Ethical cause and effect is the only way to make progress. An idolater is regressive. Idolaters are headed in one direction, death. Paul expressed such in 1 Thessalonians 1:9, "For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God." If God is true and living, then it follows that idols are dead and false.

Idolatry is dead and false, by definition. Any policy that is based on idolatry is false and leads to death. Debt is death. Savings is life. This is why capitalism is Christian based because Christianity is about life. God is life. Satan is death. Going in debt is the selling of your life. Paul wrote in Romans 13:8, "Owe no man anything..." Do not go into debt Paul is saying because to do so is to give away your life.

"Under the plan, GM would file for prearranged bankruptcy, the report said, and would then use a sale authorized under Section 363 of the U.S. bankruptcy code to sell off desirable assets to a new company financed by the government," is an article carried by Reuters on April Fool’s Day 2009. A new company financed by the government? Say what? This means that the government has nationalized the auto industry. This is what third world countries do, they nationalize their industries.

First of all, it is not a function of the government to lend money to any business. It is not the function of the government to finance and form a new company. The sole function of the government is law enforcement. Economics is out of bounds for the government with the exception of enforcement of contracts. The Obama administration is headed in the direction of death. Death to the dollar and all viable businesses. Propping up a money losing company like GM is the height of stupidity and is a bad investment.

What Obama does not understand about economics is that the consumer will ultimately decide whether or not GM stays in business. The law of supply and demand still operates no matter what the government seeks to do. Obama cannot overcome this law because it is established in the fabric of the creation. It is also spiritual and an idolater is hopeless to stop anything spiritual because they cannot see it. Welcome to the Banana Republic.
